Kiosk:

LISA MIDDLETON, Advanced Sports Dietician practising at Lifecare Ashburton has  advised us about adding some health and nutrient-dense snacks to our kiosk options. 

Why?

Variety and choice

By expanding our canteen options, we are providing variety and new choices to meet a range of individual health needs and personal preferences.

Performance

Nutrition can have a significant impact on energy levels and performance, and the food players eat before and after games can make a difference.

Recovery

Post-netball nutrition can help speed up recovery and leave players feeling fresh for the next training session or game.  Foods such as fruit, nuts/seeds, yoghurt and milk-based drinks are all great recovery snacks.

Health and wellness

We care about your health!  We are not trying to go too over-the-top with healthy canteen choices, but introduce small changes to offer you tasty options that are also good for you, to keep you both happy and healthy!
